RACING:TOGETHER HAD to settle for yet another second-place finish at Keeneland last weekend but Aidan O'Brien's filly is set to try and crack the Group One code at the same track this Saturday. The Ballydoyle star has remained in Kentucky in order to run in the Grade One Queen Elizabeth II Cup over a mile and a furlong on turf where she will be racing against other three-year-olds.

Together was a running on second to Never Retreat over a mile in the First Lady Stakes at the weekend which was open to older horses.

Meanwhile, Kieren Fox and Richard Hughes were the first jockeys to fall foul of new whip guidelines set out by the British Horseracing Authority, which came into effect yesterday afternoon.

Fox was handed a 15-day ban at Salisbury after hitting Orthodox Lad 11 times – seven times in the final furlong – when winning the Bathwick Tyres Salisbury Handicap by a short head.

Hughes was given five days after finishing third on Swift Blade, who was adjudged to have been hit six times inside the final furlong during the same race.

Both jockeys will lose their percentage of prize-money and will also have to forfeit their riding fee.
